[Aztlan] tepantitla murals

[nandi cohen]

I am teaching a Mesoamerican class and showed the Tepantitla mural from Teotihuacan to my class--the one with the great goddess at the top and the paradise of Tlaloc at the bottom.  My students were asking about the significance of the Paradise of Tlaloc section.  I haven't been able to find any information in the literature that speaks to the symbolism in that part of the mural.  any and all suggestions would be a great help.  thanks!
